Is there a fix for google voice on the 2.1 roms?

I've got a workaround going through the browser but something for the app would be nice.

Yes I have searched the threads.

What's the problem? I installed GV fine on my phone, and am using it for voicemail.

that's pretty interesting, I didn't realize mine was broke untill you said something.... interesting... hmm
now are you sure it's all 2.1 roms? darch's 2.1 aosp I could have sworn google voice was working on it.
EDIT: check outgoing phone calls via google voice

Are you on fresh or Darch?

was darch, now fresh, will go back to darch once he updates to .29 kernel

My GV works perfect on Gumbo 2.1

If I need to dial out to somewhere it matters I gotta go through the web browser. Just like I had to on my blackberry.

it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.

How would I pull that out of the rom?

pull and replace the following
\system\app\phone.apk
\system\app\phone.odex
I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate

It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.

I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?
Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!

I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.

In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!
Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.

Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough

I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.
Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

request: voice recorder .apk

For some reason the voice recorder app was corrupt, so I and looking for the stock 2.2 apk to use. Thanks

Is this it?

I hope this is the one?!

This is the same one that I had on the phone, but even after re installing it it gives me problems. The app icon is the generic one and when I click it, a different looking program comes up. Is there another program that I need to run? The htc one didn't download an my voice search is working fine.
I just want an an app that I can record with, for done reason switching from inc does mash up rom back to a nandroid with full wipes completely messed with my phone. I had to reinstall m radio because the internet wasn't working, also the stock email kept force closing no matter what I did, so un installing it and putting on a fresh copy seemed to work. Just weird all of this happened

Any info on this?

i don't have the stock one but the htc one above.
i am positive VoiceSearch.apk is NOT it. that is probably googles voice search app.

[Q] QR Reader Crashing

Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.
I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.
Any ideas for why this happening?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue

Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.
The email app, really? Why does that affect the camera apps?

To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?

Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.
Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?

Yes reinstalling the email apk should fix it as it as on all the roms with this issue. If you cant find it have a look at the Phoenix thread and grab the email zip from the FAQ

Reinstalled stock email, rebooted the phone and now everything works fine.
Thanks for this, I never would have guessed that a missing email app was the problem here. Strange bug.

I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

[Fix]- VVM on all sense 3.5 Roms

Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****

I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.

I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!

Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.

It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?

I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

Hey that's great so I tried that and it worked. Just one thing u forgot to mention. Once ur in the blocked messages section hit menu and go to block list, add 9016 and it will start blocking them. Thanks man I appreciate it! I have no idea how I missed that lol

Save the 9016 as a contact and go into your messages APP, Now set up your block password and add the 9016 to the list of Blocked contacts. Problem solved .

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.

That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM

Worked perfectly, thanks!!!

CM 10.1 Epinter Olympus Text Issue

I can receive texts no problem, but when I go to type a new text (and this may be a keyboard issue) it allows me to type one or two letters, before the keyboard just goes away off the screen and I have to wait a few seconds and then click back into the textbox in order to continue typing.
This issue is occurring for me on the MB860. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a workaround?

That sometimes happens, maybe it's just an android bug, I'd suggest you get Hacker's keyboard it is very good and never crashes.
Hope this helps
If the problem still persists get another texting app.

I think you can have two dialers at once. If not just remove the old one. Try installing it first cause without a dialer your os may malfunction.

I actually decided to get to the root of this problem and I took a look at my google contacts since I was loading the contacts from google. Somehow all my contacts were duplicated (some triplicated) in google contacts. I updated google contacts and now they are only pulling in once.
Now I still can't figure out how to modify a contact in the Dialer that ships with CM10.1 epinter tho.
Also -- Is there a way to keep your phone brightness @ max when it is charging? I can't seem to get that setting right either.
